Plus North Premier Spotlight Curvissa.

Pinafore worn as skirt: c/o Curvissa. Knitted Polo: Pop Boutique Men's. Patent flats: Evans.

Holla lovelies! The next brand to feature on The Plus North Premier Spotlight is the fabulous Curvissa! There detailing when it comes to there garments and care taken into fabric choices is pretty much a cut above the rest and whats better they genuinely listen to your ideas!

They house a wonderful range of pretty practical pieces all the way down to fabulous sequined evening wear and they have a range of things for everyone if you know how to style them!

This time the team  all were this pinafore dress in either black or check, well you can tell which one I went for! As I know Curvissa can come up a little small due to there European sister companies sizing's I went for a size 22 which was still abit snug on my middle but fitted well everywhere else which is why I went for this half sixties half school girl look! This dress is a light cotton without an ounce of stretch so I would recommend sizing up at least once if not twice depending on the look you want. The pockets excited me more than they should have but they're just so adorable!

 Check out how the rest of the team styled up this cute and quirk pinafore below!

Daisies.

Top: Pop Boutique, Manchester (from the men's section). Trousers: Primark.

This feels like it's taken me days to actually write and post up, everything is just been getting on top of me and late nights and early mornings are seriously taking there toll! But finally here are one of my new pairs of trousers in all there glory so to speak. I just adore the print which originally drew me to them, well that and the elastic waist I seriously hate zips in trousers I find them so uncomfortable and just never fit me! These are in a soft light cotton fabric so they'll be great for summer, I'm just thinking of making them ankle grazers at the moment because I'm a dwarf and there to long.

I was originally thinking maybe these would look better with a long line top over them as crotches on trousers always look weird on me but when I bought them with Sophie she said they looked good high waisted so maybe I can just do both? Though I think I need some shape wear under them as you can see my tummy a bit! I styled these with a vintage inspired knitted shirt from Pop Boutique in the northern quarter, I love going there and may of mentioned them in posts over the last year or so. I tend to have more luck in the men's section than women's, not that I care as long as I feel good in the clothes anyway. I just finished it with a light sweep of red lipstick.

Yesterday I was in London for an event and had to catch the coach at 7.30 in the morning and got home at 8pm and today I had a hand in between 10 and 11... and woke up at 10ish to Sophie banging on my bedroom door and thank god she did! So even though today I should be finishing off my shirt ready for my fit session next Wednesday I'm sitting in bed feeling like I'm doing everything half asleep!

Chelsea Boots and Boxy Bag.

Gosh that bottom photo would of been quite nice if I hadn't pulled that odd looking expression, ho hum. Anyway this is just a little post to show you my lovely new Chelsea boots courtesy of Style 369, I won the boots through a competition on twitter and now they have become a winter staple straight away. These boots are in a size 5 with triple E fitting on the width, they fit really well and perfect to go with floral dresses as well as leggings or a multiple of my skirts. On the side of the boots there is a zip situated, there is also and elastic section on the opposite side of the boot but I personally think this piece is on the shoes for purely aesthetic purposes. The Chelsea shoes are also made out of leather which was just perfect for my trip to Antwerp in the near Arctic conditions, haha.

Right now on to what I wore with my wonderful boots on this occasion. These tights are some of the comfiest I own though they are a little long for my short stubby legs, haha. The tights in question are from peacocks and considering the awfully cold and a little bit snowy weather they are perfect! Next on my list is my short sleeved polo shirt type top, which is from the men's selection of clothing from pop boutique in Manchester. The store itself is situated in the northern quarter they also have a store in Liverpool, my lovely brother actually bought me this top when I went into Manchester with him a year or so ago. My skirt is from Dorothy Perkins and was roughly under three pounds in the sale utter bargain I know, it's actually perfect I really love this style of skirts at the moment (which you can probably tell, haha). The fabric is a denim style and the back is elasticated and it's just so comfortable but it also looks quite smart. Right the cardigan here was a very speedy buy, I needed a new one with long sleeves for my trip and I had popped into Matalan for a proper pair of pj's and spotted this and it fits well and is warm and with its cropped style is sits perfectly with all my dresses, which is great for this time of year.

And finally I can tell you about the beautiful boxy styled bag! As a small group while on my trip we went to some second hand designer stores (so out of my price league) but down a little street there was this little shop bursting at the brim with bags, I joke not! And this little piece of a vintage beauty was sitting in the window and I knew I had to have it. After my lovely friend bullied me into buying it (which I'm very glad she did) I think I will be keeping this bag for quite a while I'm thinking I might use it as a sewing box too. At fifteen euros I feel it wasn't cheap but this is the girl typing who tends to get the majority of her bags from charity shops! Finally the whole look was brought together with my wonderful Chelsea boots, which remind me of my little ankle horse riding boots from when I was about three which I loved!
